Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᯍ has the Unicode code point U+1BCD. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800to0xffff.
Therefore we know that the UTF-8 encoding will be done over 16 bits within the final 24 bits and that it will have the format:1110xxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx
Where thexare the payload bits.UTF-8 Encoding bit layout by codepoint range Codepoint Range Bytes Bit pattern Payload length U+0000 - U+007F 1 0xxxxxxx 7 bits U+0080 - U+07FF 2 110xxxxx 10xxxxxx 11 bits U+0800 - U+FFFF 3 1110xxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 16 bits U+10000 - U+10FFFF 4 11110xxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 21 bits Step 2: Obtain the payload bits:
Convert the hexadecimal code point U+1BCD to binary:
00011011 11001101. Those are the payload bits.Step 3: Fill in the bits to match the bit pattern:
Obtain the final bytes by arranging the paylod bits to match the bit layout:
11100001 10101111 10001101

Description
The Unicode character U+1BCD, known as BATAK LETTER PAKPAK WA, holds significance in the Batak language spoken by various indigenous groups residing in Northern Sumatra, Indonesia. This unique alphabetic character is used to represent the phoneme /p/. Digital text often employs this symbol for accurate transcription and representation of Batak language literature, enabling better communication and understanding among speakers and linguists alike. As part of the Unicode Standard (Version 10.0 and later), U+1BCD ensures the consistent encoding and display of text across different platforms and devices, promoting cultural preservation and digital inclusivity for non-Latin scripts.
